Pociumbeni

Pociumbeni is a commune in Rîșcani District, Moldova.

The name of the locality probably comes from "pociumb" (pillar), to which the animals were likely tied when taken out to pasture.

Along the Brătușeni-Stolniceni-Pociumbăuți river segment, and especially from Pociumbeni to Horodiște-Duruitoarea-Văratic, picturesque landscapes can be encountered.

In the center of the village lies the cemetery of the Moldavian poet and boyar Teodor Vârnav's family.
